Pocket-sized Fellranger booklet describing 10 routes onto Skiddaw, one of the highest Lake District fells, from all points of the compass, with tips on the safest descents and ridge routes to Skiddaw Little Man, Bakestall and Carl Side. Illustrated with Mark Richards' summit panoramas and topo diagrams, colour photographs and Harvey mapping.

Skiddaw is perhaps one of the most prominent fells among the Northern Fells, where broad sweeps of heather-clad fells and an expanse of grass, rock and sky make it the home of peace and remoteness for ramblers. Skiddaw watches over Keswick, while other northern fells including Blencathra to its east sprawl into deep valley basins offering fellranging pleasure and challenge in the area.

This route booklet is a full-size extract from The Northern Fells guidebook, which itself is part of the eight-volume Lakeland Fellranger series by Mark Richards. This dedicated chapter on Skiddaw covers a variety of routes depicted on Harvey maps. The author's own topos and summit panoramas, not to mention breathtaking photography make sure that your ascent of Skiddaw is one to remember.

The route options are all illustrated with HARVEY maps, colour photographs, fellscape diagrams and panorama guides.

Also covers information on all the Fellranger guidebooks, basic mountain safety advice, information on the Fix the Fells conservation project, an author biography and details of other Fellranger offers and products.

The Northern Fells is just one guide of the eight-part Lakeland Fellranger series, covering a total of 227 fells. Where will you go next?
